So can't post positive prospect news, and it's that hard to believe that people on this site know AHL players? Bring it on...all on the up and up.

We're just giving you a hard time mate. It's certainly no stretch to believe it. But just cause an AHLer thinks that those guys will be a top four and top six player, doesn't necessarily make it true.

it's just a running joke... as you can see someone else just did it too.

Dubnyk could have increased berniers price.
But I'm hoping for nothing over 3.5/ 1 year

- Fakepartofme


still say it needs to be 2 yrs I think. Augello is wrong about his UFA status. Bernier is UFA next summer (if he signs a 1 yr deal).

Gotcha...all good; I didn't know people made this stuff up. Just like any others it's just an opinion for sure...here's hoping he's right.

he might go that route
since the team filed for arbitration, Bernier gets to decide if it's a 1 year or 2 year deal

my thinking as well.

can't sign him for 1 yr. too risky. He could go lights out then walk for nothing. goalies have no value at TDD

EDIT: MiB is playing with Ek on the podcast at the moment, so another couple dozen people can point out his error before he sees it

OK, according to my googling:

Leafs elected to go to arbitration with Bernier:

http://www.sportsnet.ca/h...ffman-del-zotto-chiasson/

If it's club-elected arbitration, player gets to decide 1 or 2 year:

http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/538417

I can't possibly imagine Bernier electing to go to 2-year (if, indeed, he becomes a UFA at the end of this year).

Seems to me he goes UFA and flies the coop after this year - what goalie at his age wants to hang around for a complete rebuild?

Don't make any long-term investments in a Bernier jersey.

He said take it for what it's worth. And it's worth whatever knowledge a player can give that has actually played with Kapanan and Harrigton. Which is more information you could give about these players. So again listen to what he said and take it for what it's worth.

For what it's worth:

Had dinner on the weekend with a WBS Penguin player who was on the roster last season - he is of the opinion that Harrington will have a long "top-4" d-man NHL career and provide a ton of leadership - not to be pigeon-holed into a purely shutdown d-man either...has some good puck skills and can contribute effectively on special teams.

While he had limited time with Kapanen, he says his skill level is off the charts and with at least 1, likely 2 full AHL seasons under his belt he'll be a legit top-6 sniper at the NHL level. Fast, works hard and is strong...by that timeline he'll be 20 in his first season as a Leaf if they are patient.

Highly doubt it, especially with the team he'll have in front of him...

WHAT?!?!

Dubs to was a rockstar this year who single handedly turned the Wild's season around to see them into the playoffs... Oh yeah, and was a Vezina finalist.

What the (frank) did Bernier do that was even close?

Single handedly lost about 6-7 games last year...

I was eating dinner with a friend who works on the Marlies and he said that John Mitchell was going to be the greatest Leaf ever.

How would he know and why does his opinion matter? John Mitchell is property of another NHL team. Geez, some people. I've just reported you.

yup, that's always been my understanding too.

Which means the whole philosophy of this blog is wrong. It's Bernier that would LOVE a 1 yr deal (or arb award) b/c he'll get to UFAgency quicker. The Leafs are playing with fire if they don't get him locked up for 2-3 years. I'm guessing that the G'tending and Defence look better this year under Babcock and our new whipping boys will be the offence. Bernier's set up pretty good.
